Tammy, Tammy, Tammy...

I know gag, gag, gag,... The Apprentice. This is not a fan site, however, I am a fan. If you really want my view on why this is the best case study for business today, flip me an email.

Poor Tammy, no EQ, she got creamed. Yes, I will go on the record that Emotional Intelligence is so important that Tammy got turfed. "Welcome to the real world, she said to me.. Condescendingly...". In my opinion (Kyle's opinion does not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Beacon Group, but it does in this case) well rounded people are better equipped to deal with the business world.

So, on to my real point...

Throughout the season, Tammy (what, did you think I was finished discussing The Apprentice?) had a bit of trouble keeping her mouth closed. Tammy had very little tact, and opened her mouth many times without thinking. Thankfully she seemed to only hurt herself, not the 'team' she was on.

My point is, every employee of your organization represents your organization everyday, everywhere. Tammy's predisposition to talk should have been addressed by the team. Yes, before you inundate me with calls and emails... I know, they're competing with each other. However, I can certainly assure you that right now, there is someone at your organization that needs some tactful coaching. They represent what you stand for. Mould them, guide them. Help them help themselves. Don't let the Tammy's hurt your credibility.
